Why would Vettes be posted everywhere? Those are more common to see on the road than 3rd Gens.

I assure you I CAN be, and am. ***** garbage. There is NOTHING about those cars that is in any way memorable, or special (and certainly nothing that can't be done better, faster, cheaper now).

The prices for those rolling turds is artificially driven up by borderline geriatrics, and foolish young adults hankering for either "a" nostalgia they don't know, or "b" to stand out in a field of mediocrity.

If you like em, that's on you. They're better off turned to tin cans.

I'm guessing you're not familiar with the 1989 Turbo Trans Am or the '91 - '92 Firehawk. Hell... even the '88 - '89 Notchback GTA might become a highly sought after model just because of the low production numbers.

Re: Been getting a lot of messages, My car is supposedly being posted everywhere

Im familiar with them,but again those are are still Thirdgens. Very few will be worth more than 9 grand in years to come. Dont get me wrong i love TGs.If i didnt,i wouldnt have done what i did to mine. But most of them will never be worth that much money.Theyre just not saught after like late 60s Maros or like late 60s Road runners. Even though im talking about 2 completely different eras,im just comparing. Those cars have been very popular since the day they came out. Weve had 20+ years with thirdgens and have yet to see any difference in retail pricing

Dude I see low mile low production third gens selling for 10k or more all the time over here in jersey. Its a rough market over here. You can't buy one in good shape unless you have like 5k. Its crazy
